Top Technology Trends
Technology today is ruling the world, rapidly and enabling many changes and progresses much faster than it was ever before. Not only trends and leading technologies, but many more changes have also occurred due to this pandemic situation. IT experts understand that it is not possible to stay in a contactless world. Fluidity of communication flow is a must, without which entire community gets impacted.
The IT sector is highly dynamic making it mandatory to stay abreast with the latest technologies. It means business experts should be updated with the current technology trends. They need to keep an eye on future trends to ensure that they are ready with the product that meets the expectations. They should analyze and learn which skills they should learn to secure their jobs tomorrow.
What are the latest technologies that are ruling this digital world? Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are the two latest and top technology trends evolving in today's business world. Data science and Deep Tech has taken a new meaning as these two fields merge and introduce better features in every applications that we use now.

Artificial Intelligence is a leading technology implemented to build smart machines to perform tasks effectively within less time that typically requires human intelligence. AI works with the combination of science and computer where a system or program or machines perform tasks by implementing logical reasoning like humans.

Machine learning is an application of the most leading technology of artificial intelligence (AI) where the systems can learn and improve the performance automatically without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning develops a computer program to have access to view data and use that information to learn and understand.

Whatever ways incompatible with business models, not necessarily with hostile/malicious/abusive intent. Maybe "abused" can be replaced with "used for procedurally generated data" or something.
PDFs are often the BEST way to read something. I prefer PDF text books over any other format, because (not very good) computer algorithms laying out text is inferior to proper professional layout.

Why would you read PDFs on a smart phone anyway?
> A more apt comparison would be a group in a corner having a conversation at a rock concert. Suddenly this argument appears less apt.

This is a tired old argument and it isn't convincing or effective. There's a big difference between having a conversation in a corner at a rock concert, and having a conversation in an online service hosted by someone else outside of that conversation, in a territory owned by a state where the host has to comply with laws which place the accountability of user-generated content on the host. A more apt comparison would be... I don't know, I actually don't have any idea. How about simply not being deliberately offensive or hateful or using whatever rhetoric that could ultimately translate into real-world violence?
I considered this as well but didn't really want to mess with the hardware. But if you're up for that you can buy the components yourself, or go for something like inkplate [1] which is an E-paper display + ESP microcontroller and battery in one package.

> Would be cool if there was a cheap always-on tablet that could display arbitrary web widgets like a calendar, slack etc

You can do this with any $100 Android tablet or - to a lesser degree - a left-over iPad that's too old for anything relevant.

Software-wise you have a bunch of options: Magic Mirror and Home Assistant are the most common ones. Dakboard works as a SaaS solution without their custom hardware, the free option is way too limited. HA is more for home automation though and Magic Mirror's actual purpose is to mount the display behind a two-way mirror (thus the "Magic" part)

I've got a cheapo chinese dual boot Atom Windows/Android tablet mounted on my kitchen wall with an analog clock, our shared family calendar, Netatmo data (indoor+outdoor) and weather forecast. Works like a charm.

If it wasn't so crappy I could use something like Kiosk Browser[1] to have it use the front-facing camera and only turn the display on when it detects motion. Now I just use Tasker to turn the display off at night and dim it during evenings.

A bunch of people are just mounting old computer monitors on the wall and using a Rasperry Pi (Zero/2/3/4) as a kiosk-browser. The Wife Acceptance Factor is a bit lower on those though. Most likely you'd need to disassemble the display and add some fancy frames.

> I just wish that user would tell me what the real issue is. […] I hope I can fix whatever the real issue is.

It is exactly what the parent already told you. That’s it. That’s “the real issue”. There is nothing more. Everything I’ve said already is, in fact, what the issue is. Please stop trying to read between the lines.

That you refuse to accept mine and others’ arguments about PEK and ZKE and SSDs is one thing. It’s an entirely different and more alarming thing when you refuse to accept that these issues are the issues and insist on continuing to spin a story about how I must be really angry about something different when other people are telling you it’s not so. I also can’t even imagine how it would’ve seemed like a good idea to fabricate a quote and attribute it to me in the way you just did. You did this on some of your earlier posts, too.

As for me, I don’t use eristic techniques, I don’t tell intentional falsehoods, and I don’t do things as you imply in saying I’ll “show up in another couple days and make this claim again”. Anyone is free to look to my comment history and see that I’ve only made a handful of comments here about Backblaze[0], and in all cases, I try to make sure my comments are fair and well-researched and backed with citations whenever possible.

I understand how this company is like your baby and so it may feel emotionally like I’m trying to kill your baby with criticism, but please understand that that is not my goal. My goal is, and always has been, to keep users secure. If that means I can help a receptive vendor improve their software, excellent. If that means I have to warn users to stay away from a vendor who behaves poorly, that sucks, but I still feel an obligation to do that too. If some of the negative publicity gets a vendor to start doing the right thing, good. That’s the whole reason I have to talk about these things. It certainly doesn’t do me any good otherwise.

Because frankly it shouldn't be a car manufacturers job to build charging networks and stations.

We should have ONE standard for ALL cars. Can you imagine going to Shell only with your Buick? Your next car is a Hyundai... sorry mate... this one only gets gas from bp. How about a Mercedes... oh that one only gets gas at dealerships. But if you have a BMW Chevron will be the place to fill you up!

It's preposterous and I hate Tesla for establishing this mess by building their own (technically advanced!) charging network.
Anti-competitive? Seems like fairly effective competition to me, just in way that happens to have as side effect interfering with some small part of FB:s ability to keep zucking their victims covertly?
At least the word "Scunthorpe" really does contain a rude word. "Bitch", "dyke", "faggot" and "hoe" are non-rude words for a female dog, a ditch, a bundle of sticks and an agricultural implement for removing weeds. "Faggot" is arguably a bit historical, but the other three are still in fairly frequent use. What would I even call a "hoe" if I weren't allowed to use the word "hoe"?

Until recently there were a lot of roads in the UK called "Gropecunt Lane", and I think there are still a few of them left. The name really is rude: no alternative meaning of "grope" or "cunt" is involved. But it was also the official name.
Nope, people can charge wherever they want.

Charging a 50kW max car from a 350kW charger is like driving a go-cart on a freeway. Yes, you can do it. Should you? Probably not. Will other people be annoyed by you? Definitely.
Facebook has a huge geographic database, so the actual problem here is telling people who are genuinely living / are from there from people who are trolling or simply don't want to disclose that data. If you ask me, this is a non-issue - where I live or where I was born is not Facebook's business.

FB are concerned about the quality of the data they are selling to their customers, if they sell a batch of records / API requests and disproportionate amounts of them have birth places that are small villages with ridiculous names, the value of that data decreases.

They probably meant that because the guidelines discord has setup are automated bots that occasionally hit innocent people while trying to enforce the rules. I think they were speaking in the broader context of Discord servers rather than the WSB Reddit or Discord specifically.
Yeah that’s why the SEC, White House, MSM, Discord, and multiple brokerage firms all acted in an obviously concerted effort yesterday.

It’s because of their sincere concern for retail, obviously.

Ha ha.

Events was the only feature keeping me on Facebook pre-lockdown. I only realised months after the pandemic started that I'd forgotten to login to Facebook since.

Would still be nice to have a non-Facebook platform to use for this if irl events ever resume.
That is great. A month of usage is what I would consider acceptable for this kind of product.
I don't disagree that those constitute legitimate problems that will need to be dealt with. But... why not primarily? The potential annihilation of humanity really feels like quite a primary issue to me. I can't tell if you're trying to imply that the odds of that happening are zero or negligible, which we could debate, but just ignoring and sidestepping the issue entirely strikes me as suicidally insane
Human brains are also ridiculously expensive to copy and distribute. Not to mention that you need an extremely loose definition of "copy".

The point should be deeper than that, the character, methods and legacy of the Cardinal Richelieu are the important aspects.

> people with huge twitter followings [...] would dominate science

Isn't that at its core the same as with scientific journals? People trust these journals to curate science in the same way you suggest twitter would come to curate science if it made the move online.

1. It's already possible to call attention to a paper through twitter, regardless of whether it's published in a journal or not. Paywalls gate-keep the content somewhat and makes sharing easier, but that's a minor side effect of a very broken system.

2. Papers (and involved data) being available on public platforms like github that already have mechanisms for reporting and tracking issues as well as built-in review tools, in githubs case even a separate discussion feature now, would allow for much quicker discussion critizising bad methodology.

3. Working with a VCS like git would automatically make it clear who wrote, edited or removed what.
You can really shoot yourself in the foot when freelancing with this caveat. The faster you are the less you make.

I try to charge more because I do move pretty quickly, but I have been replaced by someone "A third of my cost" more than once. If you took the triangle for "Fast, good, cheap" and graphed the market demand for each, my gut feeling is that "Fast, cheap" is the leading demand by a long margin. To someone hiring a freelancer, "Fast, cheap" looks close enough to "Fast, Good"
> it's much easier to understand what's happening (=debug) in a dynamic language.

I would argue the opposite. It's easier to understand what's
happening when you know at a glance what datatypes are involved,
whether they're used by value or reference and how each case is
handled. When I last worked with Python it was rather time
consuming to fix bugs that crashed a script at some point after
10 minutes of processing, caused by code that would have thrown
a clear compiler error in some languages and would have been
fixed in seconds.

And when I look at e.g. a Rust function signature I immediately
see what kind of data is used as arguments and what's passed
back in the result. Meanwhile in JavaScript you just need to
forget a symbol in a check and suddenly it won't know the
difference between "false", "null" and "undefined".

You are right about integrating third-party systems, but I still
prefer the approach where possible issues are discovered as
early as possible.
Vaccination Against the New Variants: Real-World Data

I'm sorry but this is a possibly irresponsible take for at least a few reasons.

The populism on this issue is completely out of touch with reality.

1) As the stock pops due to irrational upwards pressure - the hedges funds might lose a bit, but in reality a lot of 'regular people' will be left holding the bag.

When the stock inevitably crashes, those 'regular people' will lose a lot and it will probably be a more meaningful loss to them.

2) There is no easy way to make money doing this - you're literally promoting a collective ponzi scheme (!) whereby the only money made is by people putting more money in.

3) Bankers have a role to play in markets and that's by properly valuing them. Obviously there are tons of shenanigans, but otherwise, it's an essential role. 'Pumping and dumping stocks' is not value creating it's actually quite destructive. While Game Stop may appreciate being helped in some way, they are not going to appreciate their stock going insanely volatile. Why do you think they would actually want this?

The populism on this issue is really out of hand.

"So it's simple to discover and execute, and there is a financial incentive, " - please - no, this is completely irresponsible.
it seems pretty clear to me the insult of "idiot" can only be a successful insult if it is inherently offensive to be in the state of idiocy (well, I mean, they're idiots so maybe they don't know they're being insulted, but the point stands).

Or in short, of course it's an insult to the idiots out there. That's literally what makes idiot an insult.
It's an issue of the human condition, once you reach a point where you're superior to one person, you start thinking you're superior to all.

The stock doesn’t actually need to be shorted that much. We’re seeing the same thing happen with Koss, BB, and AMC right now. The infamous VW short squeeze was also caused by significantly less short interest: https://www.autoweek.com/news/industry-news/a35340727/heres-...

Essentially the people who graduated college at the start of the 2000 crash, were further victimized by the 2008 downturn. These are people that picked up habits of Great Depression victims in savings habits and lack of trust in safety nets.
Short squeeze are nothing new, so it doesn't feel like a "watershed moment" to me. Big investors also do it to each other, e.g. the Herbalife short squeeze.

A great initiative Step.
As a former fund manager, I think it mainly illuminates bad risk management practices at one specific fund. Why would you ever paint yourself in a corner where you lose 30% on a single name? It just makes me think all their other bets are also huge and simply lucky they haven't collapsed.

Funds are also diverse, though. There will be a load of funds who have taken the other side to Melvin, based either on various fundamental insights, or technical, whatever.

$100? hmm this price may not be that bad though, considering the display seems to be the most expensive aspect and I'm not finding a similar price/size on Amazon.

One thing I want to learn/address personally is a charging circuit so I'd rather build it myself. Still it is nice to know this is out there ready to go.

Also I have to use these ESP01's I bought haha. The code itself I imagine wouldn't be difficult eg. an http get request firing at whatever interval to your own local/remote endpoint. Would have to see about the ESP driver part to display to eInk.
This is about as exciting as a mob of 10000 people rushing a restaurant at the same time to 'save it' and then forgetting it the next day.

Unfortunately, there is no more new math here.

Even worse, it looks like stocks may become unduly hyper volatile due to such things and none of the people in the underlying economy actually want that, it's a huge headache and risk for them.
Of course, but in doing so he would choose a certain course, I doubt his studies would contradict each other.
I find it patently absurd for the SEC to be getting involved here. What appears to have happened is that an internet community figured out a particular market dynamic accurately, and used it to profit massively at the expense of institutional investors.

In the past two decades, we've seen more than once that when the financial system fails, even because of the excesses and poor judgement of institutional investors, the US government has been willing to step in and prevent consequences. Now they are simply losing at the game they are supposed to be the best in the world at, and they want to pick up their toys and go home, and ask mom and dad to change the rules so that only they can win the game.

If investment returns are nominally supposed to compensate risk, institutional investors should be willing to accept the occasional downside.
Hmmm, starting out with a description of what the plebes do in the housing benefit offices. Then mentioning in passing that his "old car" is a BMW i3 (can I have that old car?

> And how to do it? You get people to invest in a stock that is expected by the industry to go belly up.

A lot of the people involved aren't just buying and holding. They're specifically buying/selling short dated out of the money options in order to move the price. Some understand the market microstructure and the various levers they have to make the price move using what is effectively leverage.

> Seriously. It's that easy. It's not illegal.

Finance is highly regulated and arbitrarily so. If you think the lawmakers and regulators will throw their hands up and say geez, it's technically legal, carry on, you're sorely mistaken.

Ideally finance is meant to be about allocation of capital. If a market is allocating capital to a dying company just because meme, then the market isn't serving its purpose. I don't see how this is different than what is constantly being criticized such as flash crashes, contagion and large moves based on rumors, other than the group benefiting (fiscally irresponsible internet strangers vs fiscally irresponsible professionals)

I know, hedge funds bad, and they do this crap all the time. That may be true, but this isn't going to end well for the average consumer. My prediction is reddit will shutdown wsb because that's what reddit does. And there will be more laws made targeting individuals engaging in this sort of activity (basically coordinating with groups of people). This may hurt newsletters and other financial venues. The large hedge funds will be fine, we might see a few bailouts, and life will go on.
